LARGE PRINT EDITION - In colonial Virginia, an intrepid woman named Anne Toft rose from obscurity to become one of the greatest landowners in the region for that era. The Persistent Buccaneer is a fascinating work of historical fiction inspired by more than two decades of court records. Those dusty ledgers are anything but boring. They detail the dramatic lives of early settlers including Anne's remarkable business dealings and her scandalous partnership with a notorious aristocrat. Come along on Anne's improbable journey from ignorant orphan girl to influential planter on the mythic colonial frontier. Decide for yourself what the history books left unanswered. Was Anne Toft a courageous survivor or an unrepentant criminal? This book contains material that may not be suitable for all audiences including scenes of sexual violence.
